| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe) | Quote: | |  | | | This means that an American terrorist suspect is over nine times more likely to be a non-Muslim than a Muslim. | | | | | This in itself is scary.
A group comprising less than 1 percent of the population is responsible for about 11% of terrorist attacks. Very reassuring.

| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe) | Quote: | |  | | | Some good news from a report issued today | | | | | That does seem incredible since only last year the German commissioner for refugees stated that : | Quote: |  | | | Up to three quarters of Germanys refugees will still be unemployed in five years time, according to a government minister, in a stark admission of the challenges the country faces in integrating its huge migrant population.
Aydan Özoğuz, commissioner for immigration, refugees and integration, told the Financial Times that only a quarter to a third of the newcomers would enter the labour market over the next five years, and for many others we will need up to 10.
The admission could prove awkward for Angela Merkel as she seeks a fourth term as chancellor in Bundestag elections this September. | | | | | I wonder if it's Merkel's attempts to put out a good news story to distract from the huge asylum corruption story in Bremen which has now widened to involve the federal police : | Quote: |  | | | The Federal Criminal Police are now part of the inquiry into 1,200 suspect asylum cases. The Bremen refugee office has been stripped of its authority over allegations of bribery and a cover-up. | | | | | |

You can read the full report here, in German!
That Bremen story has been rolling for a couple of months now so it is a bit late to offer a distraction now!

The ex-head of Germany's refugee agency has alleged he told Angela Merkel about the excessive demands placed on staff. A BAMF official is facing allegations she received bribes in exchange for processing asylum requests. | | | | | Your fledgling career as a propogandist does not seem to be going to plan does it ?

| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe) | Quote: | |  | | | Really ? Since you make such an accusation please provide 3. | | | | | I already provided this evidence in my link to IAB | Quote: | |  | | | Not that Merkel knew about what happened there - front page of DW this morning and even BILD.
Your fledgling career as a propogandist does not seem to be going to plan does it ? | | | | | According to your link Merkel was informed about problems with the refugee agency in 2016 and your theory is that this drove Merkel to issuing a positive IAB report in the middle of 2018
One weakness in your theory is that the IAB issue a report on refugees and their employment every month so that report for May was business as usual.
You can read all the past reports in the link I already provided.

| | | | | Not in Germany it isn't.
As is often the case with this type of story, the right wing fringe picked it up first and it took some time to percolate into the mainstream press. As facts slowly emerged showing it wasn't just a conspiracy story.
Politicians know that if you deny something, you actually add credence to it. And quite often this type of stories come and go without causing much damage or anybody being any the wiser. Add to that Merkel's trademark ability to ignore things until they go away.
But as with the events in Cologne on New Year's Eve some years ago, there comes a point that it becomes clear that the story won't go away by itself, so even a weathered politician needs to jump into the muddied waters and try to take sides.
